THE TRUNK MURDER.
The Mystery Unravelled-A Crime
 for Robbery.

NEW YORK; Jan. 2S.-The Baltimore trunk tragedy and it's attendant mystery IS solved by the arrest in this city of Henry Unger as the murderer and the Identification of the victim as August Boltz. The murder was done for robbery in the house at No. p Ridge street, N. Y.
 Unger and Boltz were partners in the saul sage selling business. BoltZ was young man, but his exact age was not known. Abundant proof that he was murdered in Ungers room was found by the detectives yesterday. Blood was spattered over the walls and ceiling. An effort had been made by somebody to efface the stains, but it wasn't successful. The floor showed blood stains that washing had failed to wipe out. Then there were a butchers saw, knife, big heavy slungshot, all covered with blood marks, blood-soaked cot, and other indications that crime had been con- mitted.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 29-Two razors were used byUnger in carving up BoltZ, or Bohle, after he had killed him in his sleep, in order that the body might be packed in the trunk Unger, as he sits in his cell, does not waste breath de- nylnS his guilt or asserting his innocence but says tauntingly, and yet with perceptible de- gree of anxiety behind his apparent boldness, that they will have to prove it.' This, the detectives say, will not be hard to do. The de- tectiyes, from close observation of the man, feel certain that when the conviction of this fact penetrates to his understanding, he will break right down and reveal the cowardice be- hind his present mask of stubbornness. The chief element of mystery that still remains to be cleared away is as to the disposition of the head of the murdered peddler. No trace of 1t has yet been found. When that shall have been recovered and brought to headquart- CTS, dramatic scene will be enacted, by which the detectives count to shake the murderer out of his stolid indifference. The murderer will, it is said, be suddenly confronted with the head of his victim, and 1t is expected that he will break down.

A STARTLING STORY.
The Iniquity of Northwest Mining
 Camps.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Jan. 2S.-Judge c. B. Grant was asked if he credited the stories told about the brothels of the lumber and mining camps in the Northern Peninsula. He answered that he sentenced the eight girls from Men, ominee County, referred to in the papers, and that their stories are substantially correct. "I have carefully questioned the inmates of these dens brought before me, and I am satis- fled that the public knows not tithe of the iniquity carried on in them," said the Judge. and determined to see what force there was in the law, and to sweep them out of my circuit. In Menomlnee eleven persons from one den were brought before me, two men and nine women. Minnie Pine, whose story has in part become public, was one of the lot, and told me her history. Her father was for twenty years the Chief of Police in Elmira, N. r., and was a very estimable man, as l have since ascer tained. I wrote to her uncle, and received in reply a long letter detailing the history of the girl and corroborating her story in every re- spect. Her uncle has 900 invested for her
 She was inveigled into this den, where the officers found her, from Chicago. She tried to get word to her uncle, but her letters were destroyed. She iually got word to an officer, or pretended officer, of Florence County, who came to the den and said he could dc nothing for her. She afterwards jumped from window in the night and took the road to- wards Commonwealth, but was pursued by the keeper, brought back and beaten. The keeper nnaly promised 10 take ner ana anOtDer girl back to Chicago, but took them to Marinette, Wis, and sold them to the keeper of house there for $25 apiece. Such, in brief, was her story, and have no douht of it's truth. Sev- eral of the other girls had similar experiences to relate. After correspondence with her uncle's attorney, and after seeing her in the Detroit House of Correction, persuaded her uncle to take her home, and then petitioned the Governor myself for her pardon, which he granted to take effect February l. that being as soon as she could be removed on account of sickness" Judge Grant said he had dealt with forty or more cases, and that the situa. tion was not now as bad as it had been.

A Prolonged Trance.

Prolonged frances are frequently heard of in the present day, but rarely Q trance which is vouched for by medical men to have lasted over three years. The patient who fell into lcthargic condi- tion at the end of May, 1883, is young woman belonging to village in the De- partment of the Aisne, in France. At the day she gave birth to child, which ex- pired an hour afterward, the mother be- ing, on some grounds not stated, accused of having strangled it. The woman, in a weak state of health, was SO affected by the visit of the officers of justice that she had severe nervous attack, subsequently, to which she fell into the lethargic sleep, from which no effort has, since then, suc- ceeded in rousing her. Thus, for per iod of three years she has been kept alive by spoonfuls of broth, or milk, or wine, administered with the utmost difficulty, for her teeth remain tightly clcnched. The appearance of the unfortunate pa tient is described as cadaverous; her flesh is wasted away, the body being so emaciated that it seems impossible that she can survive much longer. It retains, however, its normal warmth; the limbs are not rigid, and the breathing, though faint, is regular. Doctors who have watched this extraordinary case from the outset believe that the patient hears what is said around her, though she is absolu- tely incapable of making movement or of uttering word. .-Beltast Witness.

A DOmesticated Storm Bird.

Several months ago during, violent wind-storm bird was driven into the Sun office in an exhausted condition.
 The bird was secured and placed in the wicker basket that contained the re- mains of short-footed poetical effusions and long legged communications. The stranger was a singular bird, with a russet feather gown trimmed with white at the tip, and a mellow red beneath his wings. His eye was brilliant in the ex- treme, and courage was reflected in the poise and carriage of his head. Not many hours had passed until he knew each member of the staff, and had left his imprint on the fingers of those who caressed him. The bird was given to a gentleman to rear, and he was christened
 with the storm drops on his brow "The Storm King" So he is now known,
 and every day developes his fondness for the winds, rains and storms. In quiet weather he is calm, but before the con- ing and after storm has begun he is wild with excitement, and rapidly sends forth the notes of curious song, more warlike than sweet. Baltimore Sun

Tho Latest Thing in SWells.

The dude is dead, and with him has departed from the manners of the town the era of vacuous and owlish gravity. He was surly, sullen, and inert protest against loudness and display; but he's dead and out of fashion, and men are hurrying to exploit the very thing he most abhorred. Now the bowling swell, with dash of old time flop, is in vogue. By day he wears showily embroidered silk and satin waist coats, white over gaiters, brilliant hued scarf, gaudy gloves, horsey shirts, flowing trousers, and clothes of many shades. At night his shirt front is figured and frilled; he sports gold buttons on his waistcoat, sat in stripes on his trousers, and adds a dash of color to it all by thrusting a bright crimson, yellow, or blue handker- chief into his breast. Nor has he the manners of the solemn ape of year or more ago. He bobs along at a lively gait, and grins hilarious greetings to his friends. He's cheap and onerous at times, and hence men feel for him mo mentary spasms of dislike; but he's bet ter than the dude, for after looking at the dude man was apt to hate him. self. - Washington Star.

South African Diamond Thieves.

Although there is considerable and clever detective staff on the diamond fields, there are those at Kimberley who can outwit the police, at any rate for a time, and so it happens that such num- Der of stones is annually stolen as to prove factor in disturbing the market price. The chances of detection are no doubt great; but the hope of securing a few hundred pounds by little pecula- tion is so tempting that there are always hundreds of men at ''the game" Some of the thieves, that is, the men who steal the stones they are paid for un- earthing, display great ingenuity in car- rying away the gems. The business of diamond digging is naturally arough and ready kind, and presents opportunities for fraud which are not available in other industries. When diamond steal ing first became business, those inter. ested, suspecting no evil, were easily cheated. Stones were then carried away concealed about the person of the laborers. But, as the thefts increased, greater precautions were taken to insure the detection of the thieves. Some of the dodges which have been resorted to in order to carry diamonds from the dig. gins have been not little remarkable. We have only room however for sample or two. Upon one occasion it is related that an ingenious laborer wrapped the stones in a small piece of soft bread, the morsel being greedily snapped by dog. The dog was carefully looked after till the mine was left behind, when it was ruth lessly killed to obtain the hidden dia- monds, which were contained in its stomach. Domestic fowls have been trained to swallow the smaller stones, which have afterward been cut out of
 heir crops. A parcel of stolen gems has been known to have been got out of a well-watched digging by having been ingeniously fastened to the hair of a horses tail.

To Sail Under the Waves.

A new idea in submarine boats is re- ported. An English inventor has con- structed boat which is sometimes 60 feet long, and sometimes considerably less. In other words, it shuts up and opens out like telescope, and sinks in the former case and floats in the latter.
 A boat of this kind, which could dive down and hang torpedo to an adver- sary's keel would be an awkward custo- mer to deal with in naval battle. Per haps the seafghts of the future are go- ing to be decided under water, as the land wars may be decided by balloons in mid-air.
 The new idea, however, is only in it's infancy yet, and may not be practically developed for a long while. The teles- coping boat to which we referred is said to work satisfactorily, but it has only been tried, so far, in the shallow and placid waters of the London docks. -

The Submarine Boat.

With reference to the submarine boat, which has attracted some attention in the daily papers, it may be we'll to point out that the idea is certainly more than 25O years old, for in the reign of James Ia Dutchman, named Drebbel, construct ed boat which travelled under the sur face of the Thames. Since then many submarine vessels have been designed, but none of them as yet accomplished what has been done by Professor Turks Peacemaker, in the Hudson River, New York. That vessel apparently drives with ease and returns to the surface as desired. A very powerful submarine vessel is being built to the designs of MT. Nerdenfelt, with engines of 1900 horse power, and it will probably be ready for trial in Southampton Water in the Spring. . -Englisb Mechanic.

Wooden Shoes.

In the town of Clymer, County of Chautauqua, N. r., is large settlement of Hollanders, the older members of which brought from their fatherland the simple manners and industrious habits which have always been characteristic of that race. Nearly without exception they are engaged in general farming and dairying, and to. supplement their farm labors they have introduced an industry which is carried on in no other place in the Union. This is the making of the wooden shoes or clogs which are so com mon in Holland, and some other foreign countries. During the coldest days and the long winter evenings these Hollandcrs apply their knives and ''shaves" almost without cessation. The business is really monopoly, and of late it has proved very profitable, the demand for the clumsy shoes for decorative purposes not only largely enhancing their value, which the shrew Dutchmen were quick to sec, but increasing the number called for very materially. The woods used are basswood and cucumber. Each shoe is bored and cut from a single block. They become so we'll seasoned that pair made in the best manner is al- most indestructible. The bulk of these shoes is handled by dealer in Corry, Pa., and large number are sent direct to the Philadelphia market. It also re- quires great many to supply the wants of the colony itself, as the shoes are generally worn by both sexes. --[Frank T,oolie,c

STRIKING 15,OOO STRONG.
NEARLY ALL THE KNIGHTS OF THE
 RIVER FRONT IDLE.
Fortv-nine Proposes to Block Many More
 Industries If Ihis Move Falls.

The great strike, whick started with the coal handlers and extended to the longshore- men of the Old Dominion Line, in New York, extended its proportions vastly last week.
 A general strike spread along the twenty miles of water front around New York Thursday. Longshoremen, grain trimmers, coal passers and men who help the Custom House welghers knocked of work at an early hour, and from the Erie basin in Brooklyn to the New York Central elevators, near Central Park, all the Union men left their places.
 The object of the strike was to give aid and comfort to the men who are at issue with the Old Dominion Steamship Company and to the striking coal handlers. 'sWe strike to help 1ongshoreman, who said he had no complaint to make against his own company.
 All the ocean steamship companies had vessels at the docks, some empty, some being loaded, and some nearly ready for sea when the men left. Those that could do so finished up with Italian labor and their own crews and went to sea. The elevator men joined the strikers, and they were followed by the bag sewers, which prevented the shipping of grain. All the docks of the city are piled full of freight, but 10, 900 green Italians or Hungarians could not do in day as much work as third that number of skilled men would in an hour, and as result everything moved slowly.
 The president of LongshOreman's Union No. 1 said to reporter that, as the longshoremen were out, they proposed to have great many greviences settled before they returned to work. For 8 number of years men have been cursed and sworn at by those over them, and they proposed to have it stopped. He said the aver age wages of 8 longshoreman were only about SS per week.
 The stock of coal in New York and Brooklyn is reduced down to so low figure that many manufacturing establishments had to shut down, thus adding largely to the crowd of idle men.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The cause of the ex- tension of the strike is solely from sympathy with the old strikers of the 1ongshoremen em- ployed by the Old Dominion Steamship Con- pany for an advance in wages from twenty-five to thirty cents an hour, and of the New Jersey coal handlers of two and one-half cents an hour. The successful resistance of the com- panies to these demands brought about, first, the refusal of 'longshoremen at other docks to handle freight transferred from the Old Do nlinion Company, then to handle any coal from the New Jersey docks, and finally to work at all The great majority of the men who went out have no grievances of their own. for they have been receiving the wages long ago agreed upon by the union and the steam ship companies, and have made no demands upon their employers for more wages or any thing else. A singular feature of the case is that the Old Dominion strikers were non-unlon men and were working for five cents an hour less than the union men. Still the union tocI up their cause.
